  1. Do they count LPN experience re: pay?

    tobimikal replied to Innurse78's topic in Arizona Nursing

    This is funny cuz I was just watching the news and there was a big thing about the school nurse shortage in the valley. Apparently schools are starting to hire cna, lpn, paramedics, pretty much anyone...

  2. Algebra online????

    tobimikal replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

  4. How do you convice elderly people of certain things?

    tobimikal replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

  5. Will my CNA license be in jeopardy ?

    tobimikal replied to sfreders's topic in General Nursing

    First let me say that school comes first. That said. The rules for us are very clear. Abandonment is when you walk off a job in the middle of your shift before there is another aide to take over your...

  7. Talking to Residents

    tobimikal replied to shy_wolf101's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree. Your classmates sound like jerks to me. Trust me when I say that not only is it okay to ask residents how their feeling, it should be one of your first questions everyday. One of the most...

  8. Question? Need some info.

    tobimikal replied to JR321's topic in General Nursing

    In most states it depends on what the offense is. Many times you can send the board all the necessary paperwork showing that you did whatever was court ordered and they will make a final decision....

  9. need opinions about withdrawing from class

    tobimikal replied to hushpupgrl's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that having a W is better than a bad grade. Also I think this happens to alot of students with online classes. The Sciences are hard classes and many people say that they had a horrible...

  10. Maricopa Skills Center's Question's

    tobimikal replied to Mayaquice's topic in Arizona Nursing

    If the first 14 weeks are classes only then are there still classes while your in clinicals too. Im confused, is it first half only classes and second half only clinicals or is the second half

  11. How would you handle this, VERY lazy CNA!

    tobimikal replied to pink2blue1's topic in General Nursing

    I would just like to say that I am not a nurse, I am a CNA and theres no way that even I would not do anything about her. Although I have no authoritative power over other aides I absolutely have no...

    tobimikal replied to cnafromaz's topic in General Nursing

    I dont work in a hospital. I work LTC. I would just like to say that it is perfectly normal to be nervous about changing briefs and doing peri care. Just know that the nervous feelings you have wont...

  14. On-call 24/7

    tobimikal replied to pepperann35's topic in General Nursing

    I would say "absolutely, and every time one of my aides calls in I will be sure to call and wake you up in the middle of your night to come in and work the floor since your too cheap to hire enough...

    tobimikal replied to tobimikal's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  17. Lots of Lifting.........

    tobimikal replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I am 5'4'' and 95 pounds. I do fine as long as they can help. But if it is a person that I KNOW I cant handle if they were about to go down, I get help. It has alot to do with the way the room is set...

  18. How to keep CNA certificate active?

    tobimikal replied to Toots71506's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    No, you need to go into the Human Resources department and talk to the HR that does the hiring. Keep in mind that the flexibility is not going to be as much as it would be in a nursing home and I...

    tobimikal replied to Toots71506's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    oh okay, I see. Heres what id do then. Dont limit yourself to the jobs that are listed especially since you only want one or two days. Most people are only going to pay to list much needed full time...

  20. How to keep CNA certificate active?

    tobimikal replied to Toots71506's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There are always options but it really depends on what you want and the facility. PRN is always an option. It is minimal hours but you normally dont have time to find a babysitter or whatever. They...

  21. How to keep CNA certificate active?

    tobimikal replied to Toots71506's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I think it may depend on the state. Dont quote me on this but I dont think so. Volunteers cant do any skilled duties so I dont think that would work. But you should call your BON and ask. It wouldnt...

  24. PSY101 at which college? or should I wait?

    tobimikal replied to litaphoenix's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I took psych 101 at Rio Salado last semester and it was super easy. By far the easiest class on the prereq list. A great class to take with something like AP or Chemistry because it really doesnt take...

    tobimikal replied to tobimikal's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I thought about maybe applying for a monitor tech position as well but I was afraid I would get bored with it. You sound like you like it though so could you tell me some more about what you do all...
